MORALES-ACOSTA, Gina V e AGUILAR-CARO, Aura I. Deaf diversity and gender violence: restricted communication in the use of sign language in health. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.6, pp.309-313. Epub 16-Ago-2021. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.216.969.
This paper aims to reflect on deaf diversity and gender violence, to discuss language policies for the acquisition and development of sign language and its use, in social contexts in a dominant hegemony of oral language. The communicative access of women and girls that is possible between a hearing culture and a deaf culture, in full access, without restriction to information and knowledge. Deaf women have a higher degree of ‘obstetric violence’ that involves professionals involved in the direct care of sexual and reproductive health, in some cases because health personnel do not have communicative elements in basic sign language, in uninformed medical procedures or in actions taken without communicative bridges.
